turkey cheese burger and fries. None of the excellent iron foods are things I eat or like. Turkey is on the good list.

I was sad to learn that spinach (which I had been told to eat over the past few months) is relly best in iron when cooked, not raw, and despite being high in iron, it actually inhibits the absorbtion of the same (as do whole grains, thus I am having the white bread bun). Tomatos and Potatos both help with absorption, so the fries and tomato on the burger will help.

I also bought iron pills, so I should really be all covered.

Ooh. Cafe woman just gave me a free sample of some peanut butter & chocolate desert bar thingie....

eta: Even nummier than I expected....

I am glad to know there is a nutritional reason to have fries with a burger!

I apparently had cookies for lunch. Oops.

Now you're just being cruel.

Now you're just being cruel.

It's for a good cause! The woman who owns the cafe has cancer, and hasn't been in the cafe in ages. She came in to the cafe over the weekend and made the bars. So I had to sample them so I could offer positive feedback, which will hopefully help her feel better.

Many Americans Say Other Faiths Can Lead to Eternal Life

Huh. 42% of Americans say atheists can get to heaven by doing good works.

Time for me to find some blind puppies to help across the street....

Suddenly I think we should have sushi for lunch. DH is playing with wood and the table saw -- not sure if he will want to interrupt it for sushi...

Oy, Shir! What a week you're having. I hope things get better soon!

I got a burger and tater tots from the cafeteria (they're severely understaffed for the holidays, so the only stations that are making stuff to order is the grill and the self-serve salad bar), with a piece of apple pie for dessert.

Mmmm, pie...
